The Commonwealth of Massachussets Bay is a gargantuan, socially progressive nation, ruled by Speaker Sally Lamarck with an even hand, and remarkable for its museums and concert halls, national health service, and state-planned economy. The compassionate population of 29.834 billion Massachussetsians enjoy extensive civil rights and enjoy a level of social equality free from the usual accompanying government corruption.

It is difficult to tell where the omnipresent, liberal, socially-minded government stops and the rest of society begins, but it juggles the competing demands of Education, Welfare, and Environment. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Mashauwomuk. The average income tax rate is 98.6%.

The enormous but stagnant Massachussets Bayian economy, worth a remarkable 1,004 trillion dollars a year, is driven almost entirely by government activity, with private enterprise illegal. The industrial sector is solely comprised of the Book Publishing industry. State-owned companies are the norm. Average income is 33,670 dollars, and distributed extremely evenly, with practically no difference between the richest and poorest citizens.

Maybe the real economic growth was the friendship we've made along the way, bowling teams spend more time looking at their phones than the pins, the thrash metal version of the national anthem is topping charts, and clairvoyants and soothsayers find fellowship at their local McRonalds. Crime is totally unknown, thanks to a well-funded police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Massachussets Bay's national animal is the tabby cat, which is also the nation's favorite main course.

Massachussets Bay is ranked 285,176^th in the world and 5^th in 42 Douglas Adams for Highest Average Incomes, with 33,670.19 Standard Monetary Units.
